I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'one's content to be beaten eventually?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'urge to fight' is the wordplay.
'urge' becomes 'egg' (as in egging someone on).
'to fight' becomes 'box' (boxing is a kind of fighting).
'egg'+'box'='EGG-BOX'
